Unlock Your Potential with Expert Chess Coaching
Who Are We
About Indian Chess Academy
Indian Chess Academy was founded on a simple idea: chess should be taught in a way that feels engaging, personal, and meaningful. What began as a side project by Viraj Pandit, a computer science engineer with a lifelong passion for the game, soon became a response to the overly generic and impersonal nature of most online chess classes.
As the academy grew, Viraj teamed up with Nachiket Chitre, whose structured approach and shared love for chess helped shape the academy’s direction. Together, they created an environment where students receive close, thoughtful mentoring. Every session is designed with care, allowing coaches to adapt to each student’s pace and style — building not just skill, but confidence.
